I know I really should share my interest in going there, but I just don't want any unneccessary tension when I'm not 100% sure and still have time to figure it out. Anyways, I'm a teenager. I'm bound to change my mind about two billion more times by the end of the year :D :rolleyes:

Thanks! GradWife, that's great you would do that for your DD's friend

That's weird. I've never received anything in my email from them... I'll just hope they don't send anything else through the mail

About two weeks ago I filled out the Pre-Junior Registration since I was interested, and today I got mail from them (didn't surprise me). My only issue with this is that my mom is not very... fond of the military. She completely flipped on my sister once because she said she thought she might...

Yeah, that's something I'be been struggling with. I've been trying to figure if I'd want to go to USAFA vs USNA more. All something that will settle out in time, though. Thanks for the wonderful advice from everyone!

Thank you! I looked at all the members of the different bands listed on the site and none of them played it. Maybe it was dated or something? Who knows. I was really worried there for a bit, I love playing.

I was wondering what bands there were at the academy, so I went to their website and looked. However, the problem comes when I notice that in all of the ensembles, there are absolutely no euphoniums/baritones (the instrument I play). Does the academy not have people play it or does there just...

Thank you! You guys cleared a lot that was kinda confusing

Alright, thanks! The research I've been doing with the noms is just long and tedious. So much info and different specifics for different people...

Also, does anyone know how competitive the 16th congressional district is? I doubt it is, but I worry

Are there any MOC noms that are better than the other? The Senators are Durbin and Kirk and then my Rep. is Kinzinger. Is there any person I should hope for over the others? Of course I'll be happy to get whatever I'm able to, but still.

Thank you so much, npak, navymom, and Rogers. That's a really great idea with the folders! Especially the fake deadline. I like having things done quickly and dealth with. I was figuring I'd ask for more recommendations than needed, then I could avoid being stuck with one that's just a...

I had a question about this, too, so I'll just ask here. Would it be acceptable to ask my band director for a reccomendation? He's known my family for many years because of siblings, plus he taught me sophomore Music Theory class and junior AP Music Theory. Plus, I've been around him from...

Thanks, and yeah I've looked at the CFA standards. The only thing worrying me is the basketball throw and pull ups. Otherwise I'll be all good. I've seen some guides on training for those two around on the forums

Hi, I am currently heading into my Junior year of high school and really want to attend the academy. For awhile I've been drawn to joining the AF, but only recently have been doing research. Thus, leading me to finding about the USAFA, SS, etc. Joining the military was never something that...
